He was filthy all night.

I still think he could do with a clean up on his shoulder...but if he's doing this 2 games in a row with no set backs? He may avoid the procedure.

Good to see from our #2 prospect...he's labored ALL season

Where was JJ tonight? I was hoping on the Memphis Express.

imadangman wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 08:52 am I know this has been potentially health related with Mathews but the way he has struggled reminded me of Shelby Miller his year at AAA. Seemed like a pitcher in a similar spot, we all wanted him to get to St Louis quick but he got to Memphis and struggled all that year until a few good starts at the end. So hopefully that's what we're in line for with Mathews.

There is a serious, anxiety-inducing contrast between the positive things about Mathews that led him to be ranked so highly and the injury/wildness concerns that have led him to get taken off the list.

Interesting comparison.

Miller first 17 starts that year: 77.1 IP 90 H 43 BB 90 K opponents had a .388 OBP against him.
Miller last 10 starts that year: 59.1 IP 48 H 7 BB 70 K opponents had a .253 OBP against him

Mathews first 15 starts this year: 53.1 IP 44 H 48 BB 62 K opponents had a .382 OBP against him
Mathews last 2 starts: 13.2 IP 7 H 2 BB 18 K opponents have a .226 OBP against him

The few innings I watched he was impressive. I shocked at the small crowd.
